Interfacial reactions of liquid Sn and Sn-3.5Ag solders with Ag thick films

The interfacial reactions of liquid Sn and Sn-3.5Ag solders with Ag thick films are investigated in the temperature range from 250–325 °C, and the morphology of intermetallic compounds formed after such soldering reactions is observed. In kinetics analysis of the growths of intermetallic compounds, it was found that both Sn/Ag and Sn-3.5Ag/Ag reactions were interfacial-controlled, and the growth rates for both cases were similar. The rate of Ag dissolution into liquid solder attendant on the formation of interfacial intermetallic compounds after Sn/Ag reaction was about four times higher than that after Sn-3.5Ag/Ag reaction, as evidenced by experimental results.     

Improvement of wear resistance of AZ31 and AZ91HP by high current pulsed electron beam treatment

The surface modification of magnesium alloys （AZ31 and AZ91 HP） was studied by a high current pulsed electron beam（HCPEB）. The results show that the cross-sectional microhardness of treated samples increases not only in the heat affected zone（ HAZ）, but also beyond HAZ, reaching over 250μm. This is due to the action of quasi-static thermal stress and the shock thermal stress wave with materials, which result in its fast deformation on the surface layer and so increases microhardness. For the AZ91HP alloy, a nearly complete dissolution of the intermetallic phase Mg17Al12 is observed, and a super-saturated solid solution forms on the re-melted surface, which is due to the solute trapping effect during the fast solidification process. Measurements on sliding wear show that wear resistance is improved by approximately 5.6 and 2.4 times for the AZ31 and AZ91HP respectively, as compared with as-received samples.     

Joining alumina to inconel 600 and UMCo-50 superalloys using an Sn10Ag4Ti active filler metal

Alumina ceramics were brazed to Inconel 600 and UMCo-50 superalloys at 900 °C for 10 min using an Sn10Ag4Ti active filler metal. The brazing filler showed good wettability on alumina and superalloys. The flexural strengths were 69 and 57 MPa for alumina/Inconel 600 and alumina/UMCo-50 joints, respectively. In both cases, the brazed specimens fractured along the Sn10Ag4Ti/superalloy interfaces after four-point bending tests. Electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) elemental mapping revealed that the Ni of Inconel 600 and the Co of UMCo-50 dissolved into Sn10Ag4Ti filler metal, which serves to reinforce the weak Sn10Ag4Ti matrix.     

Diffusion bonding/superplastic forming of Ti-6Al-6V-2Sn/SUS 304 stainless steel/Ti-6Al-6V-2Sn

The superplasticity of the Ti- 6Al- 6V- 2Sn alloy for different temperatures was evaluated by single-sheet free blowing. The optimal superplastic temperature for the Ti- 6Al- 6V- 2Sn alloy was found to be 850 °C. Diffusion bonding of Ti- 6Al- 6V- 2Sn and 304 stainless steel was carried out in a vacuum. The interface of both bonded alloys was examined by EPMA. The concentration profile of Ni exhibited a peak at the interlayer and a valley adjacent it, whereas that of Cr exhibited a peak where Ni showed the valley. X- ray diffraction (XRD) analyses showed that the Fe ₂ Ti, NiTi, and CrMn Intermetallic compounds and the Cr element formed at the interface. The thickness profiles of the blown specimens were measured and compared with theoretical calculations.     

脉冲偏压对电弧离子镀非晶氧化钛薄膜性能的影响

用脉冲偏压电弧离子镀技术在玻璃基片上制备均匀透明的氧化钛薄膜，通过改变脉冲偏压幅值，考察其对氧化钛薄膜性能的影响。结果表明，沉积态薄膜为非晶态；脉冲偏压对薄膜性能有明显的影响。随偏压的增加，薄膜厚度、硬度和弹性模量均先增大后减小，前者峰值出现在-100-200V负偏压范围，后两者则在-150～250v范围：-300v偏压时的薄膜硬度最高；达到原子级表面光滑度，RRMs为0．113nm，薄膜折射率也最高，在λn=550nm达到已有报道的最高值2．51，此时薄膜具有最好的综合性能。文中对脉冲偏压对薄膜性能的影响机理也进行了分析。     

Understanding the intentions of users to ‘stick’ to social networking sites: a case study in Taiwan

Social networking sites (SNSs) are the most popular social platforms for developing personal networks. They provide multiple interactive functions for users to create and use large social networks. To determine why people exhibit ‘stickiness’ to SNSs, this study uses the uses and gratifications theory as an underlying structure and builds the research model with factors of motivational needs and interactivity. Our results showed that social needs, information needs, human–message interaction, and human–human interaction are crucial factors that affect the ‘stickiness’ of users to SNSs. The implications of these findings are presented in this paper.

Robust H∞ Output Tracking Control with Partly Quantized Information

This paper is concerned with the stability and output tracking problems of networked control systems (NCSs) with partly quantized information. Both the remote and local systems are considered. The state variables transported from the remote system experiences time delays and quantization errors, while the local state variables do not. The purpose is to design a state feedback controller which guarantees that the output of the local system tracks the output of the remote system in the H∞ sense. This consideration is widely appeared in remote assistant systems. Based on the Lyapunov–Krasovskii (L‐K) functional approach, sufficient conditions on the existence of a quantized robust H∞ output tracking controller for NCSs are presented in terms of bilinear matrix inequalities (BMIs). Furthermore, a cone complementarity algorithm is used to convert these BMIs into a convex optimization problem. Finally, a simulation example is given to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method.
